A Modest Proposal


I would like to make a modest proposal. Since so many of you like my vacation photo's I would like some of my richer readers to donate about $20,000 so we can go on a cruise to Italy.

Since you guys are so fond of our vacation and coverage and don't spend any money to help us travel it is really only right that you give us money. I mean you get all this great blog content for free after all so I think at the very least Lisa and I deserve a free trip to Italy.

It is only right.

Trooper York said...

Ha!

I hope you figured it out dude.

Trooper York said...

I mean I know you did but it is pretty hilarious.

Oooh, I like the color in that photo. Gold that glitters as if it were real and not something ramped up to sham others into believing such intensity and rich color is natural.

To show my appreciation for your outstanding ability as a writer and deep thinker with a prodigious intellect, I might consider a small donay, but what I'd really prefer would be the receipt of something of substance in return for my investment and contribution. Something like a garage calendar of all the above average men who read here, manfully posing in shorts or undergarments of choice. Tastefully done of course, no need to go whole hog. Nothing kinky like lathes up the ass, but a pensive shot of ricpic thoughtfully paging through the Hammacher Schlemmer might work. So would Cody J blowing smoke from his Kenworth...Palladin might be able to pass off one of those artfully done body paintings. The possibilities are endless. No underwater pics of TY though, too soon for that!

The boys of Trooper York!

What a great idea.

It could be a series.

Thanks MamaM.

The Dude said...

I could pose with my chainsaw but the bar is only 36" long.

Whachu mean, compensatin'?

What about bags of cash with red ink all over the bills? What about cocaine suffused piles of cash?

Icepick said...

Heah's yah EBT cahd. Haveagudtime.

"EBT! EBT! I just swipe my EBT!"

So, Haz, did you finally break down and watch the video Cody recommended?

"I buy milk by the cow-wow...."

Pure gold....

blake said...

Possibly your least convincing bit of fiction ever.

Which is probably a credit to you.

Michael Haz said...

@Icepick - No, I didn't. I went over there and took a quick look around, but couldn't figure out what Cody wanted me to watch. So I left.

Plus, the colors gave me a headache. The kind of headache that could be resolved only with cold vodka.

Icepick said...

Haz, Cody provided the link in his comment, and you're really killing the joke.

Michael Haz said...

Okay Ice, I'll bite. Give me the link again.

rcocean said...

Thanks goodness only your richer readers need to contribute.

Lets me out.

I will however pay for your bus fare to visit Crack.

Cody Jarrett said...

funny video link. goes to youtube not crack's site.

Cody Jarrett said...

Is it still in your head, Icepick?

I don't think it's as catchy as ice ice baby.

Cody Jarrett said...

I get a kick out of the dancing.

And they say black people have rhythm.

Trooper York said...

The clue to the joke is in the tag lines.

chickelit said...

Is the "anonymous" commenter on Crack's blog who signs as "PW" aka Shouting Thomas?

Icepick said...

Cody, you dirty rotten rat bastard, lol.

Cody Jarrett said...

I'm playin' for the Rose Bowl on my way to the big game, Icepick.

You'll probably go to the *Fiesta* Bowl.

Because you're so sparkly.

Cody Jarrett said...

And I've never seen "PW" mention anything about a LBFM, so I don't think they're the same.

Why do you ask?

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

I know you like to live it up, but you could do a trip to Italy (without roughing it at all) for about half that. And that is being very comfortable and staying in nice places. You do not need a cruise to enjoy Italy.

chickelit said...

Why do you ask?

Just a hunch based on the initials.

MamaM said...

Redeem is one of those old fashioned words. It went the way of green stamps and mid-week church services. I not sure the under 30 crowd even knows how traveler's checks work.

Icepick said...

Evi, $20,000 is a stretch goal.

The Dude said...

Might PW be Paco Wove?

Cody Jarrett said...

Chickie...occasionally you're maddening.

Explain how Shouting Thomas has the initials "PW". We all know his real name. I've even chatted with him in a few email exchanges, we talk about music and cameras and stuff.

PW is way more liberal than Steve. I'm pretty sure ST couldn't fake it that long. Or go for posts on end without mentioning the gehy or the LBFMs.

So again--why do you suspicion it so?


Not responding to a question with another o

ndspinelli said...

EBL, Cruising Italy would be a last choice, I agree. Well, Italy by bicycle Yugo would come after cruising. Anyone ever been to Sardinia, my bride loves boat rides. Just like retards love the zoo.

chickelit said...

MamaM, you are a shiny light of wisdom here.

chickelit said...

I actually meant to say "shining light", MamaM.

MamaM said...

Either way is nice! Thank you, El Pollo. The shiny one would be the more reflective!

chickelit said...

"Shining" implies inner light (which you have); "shiny" could just mean "polished."
